It seems to release two films (“presence” and “Black bag”), wrapping production on another (“The Christophers”) and Write a book about making ‘jaws’ is not enough to maintain Steven Soderberg busy. Speaking in A new interview with VarietySoderbergh shared that he and ”Infection“Screenwriter Scott Z. Burns has discussed putting together a sequel to their Public Health Rill 2011, and the topic of microplastics struck a chord.
“There is really a case to do, especially in the West, for the long -term effects, environmentally, of what we eat, what we breathe. That is well known we have plastic in our blood now. It is in our brains,” Soderbergh said. “This is a new thing that must have a fairly serious effect. There are many opportunities.”

“There is very really fascinating human behavior that we didn’t even think about when we did this,” Soderbergh said. “It’s just a reminder of how deeply irrational we are. When we are put into a kind of fear space, we become deeply illogical. It’s crazy to witness. ”
